thesized from l-bicyclo [2.2. 2] octyl nitrile by Hartzler's method. Ig Unsymmetrical ketones were obtained by cuprous chloride catalyzed condensation of acid chlorides with organomagnesium compounds. 20 Alcohol 2 was prepared by the addition of tertbutyllithium to di-l-bicyclo [2.2. 2] octyl ketone in ether.
